Mikiesboy Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Though i've been okay, this is how life feels lately: arduous adjective | AHR-juh-wus Definition 1 a : hard to accomplish or achieve : difficult b : marked by great labor or effort : strenuous 2 : hard to climb : steep "To forgive is the most arduous pitch human nature can arrive at." When Richard Steele published that line in The Guardian in 1713, he was using arduous in what was apparently a fairly new way for English writers in his day: to imply that something was steep or lofty as well as difficult or strenuous. Steele's use is one of the earliest documented in English for that meaning, but he didn't commit it to paper until almost 150 years after the first uses of the word in its "strenuous" sense. Although the "steep" sense is newer, it is still true to the word's origins; arduous derives from the Latin arduus, which means "high," "steep," or "difficult." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good word. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Gray Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Howdy, DiC. Woke with a sore throat, and angry sinuses. It's gonna be a fun day, fueled by coffee, DayQuil, and stubbornness. But, I did get to see a little lady duck and her fellow splashing out in the puddle near the parking lot of work. That was nice.

I have a 23.2-megapixel camera that uselessly is at home. I live in an outdoorsman's paradise. I really should know better than to leave it there, even during mundane trips. I saw elk yesterday, ducks today, cranes most days. I'm failing on the whole documenting memories front. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm failing on the whole documenting memories front. I still have the pic somewhere in my collection of accumulated stuff from my teen years. I opened the front door of my house and what a sight I encountered. On the far side of the road was a family of Canada Geese. One parent at the front with the other bringing up the rear. In between them were three or four baby geese (can’t recall how many) They were just walking down the road - heading to the lake from wherever their nest had been was our guess. This was somewhat confirmed by the mail carrier who had seen this family in transit as well. They only had a couple blocks left to go, but I have always wondered how they knew when to turn the corner and head in the correct direction. Internal GPS, perhaps? Im going to my parents this weekend, if I can find the pic, I’ll try and post a copy of it, here. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm failing on the whole documenting memories front. So often I wish my eyes had camera capability. Then, an actual camera would be unnecessary, and a flash moment could be easily captured and archived. I suppose there's some wearable device, like Google Glasses, that has this feature. But I'd like to just blink and have an instant snapshot. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel well enough to plow through the day. Also did my duty and warned my husband to get Emergen-C on board. The microbial assault is coming, and he should get a fighting chance at least. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
